Baldur's Gate 3 is almost a masterpiece. However, it is betrayed by it's rushed ending and lack of polish. I agree with almost all the positive coverage this game has gotten and have few things to add so I will only talk about what I did not like. This review was initially about 700 words expressing my gripes but I’ve realized my feelings can be summed up in 7 key sentences:
1) There is a desperate need for bug fixing and performance optimization.
2) Act 2 is often boring.
3) Act 3 feels empty.
4) The romance system feels stapled on.
5) Some origin plotlines feel extremely rushed (Karlach especially).
6) There is little cool endgame stuff.
7) The ending of the game is lackluster.
Thankfully, most of the issues I have with the game can, and seemingly will, be fixed. I am eager to return to this game in a year or so to see what Baldur's Gate 3 was really meant to be.
